Hi All,

A good friend, Richard Haavik, who owns a nice small fly fishing lodge in
BC, told me that a new problem has developed for him with the popularity of
the multi-piece fly rods.

When walking back to his Suburban with customers on the Upper Dean River, he
is having people loose pieces of their fly rods. This is because they are
walking back with no fly on the leader and now when they hit a bush/twig
pieces fall off.

He is now telling them that after finishing the day, before the walk back,
to either leave the fly connected to the leader and hook it on the keeper or
take the rod apart and put it in the rod bag for the "bush whacking" back to
the vehicle.

(I will send you a bill)
